WATCH: Conservative Leader @PierrePoilievre says he will be campaigning in his home province of Alberta for national unity, sending the message that Canada loves Alberta.
Today, our team is proposing the creation of a Community Power Program to modernize Saskatchewan’s stalled net-metering system and to give families, farmers, businesses, and communities the power to lower their bills and generate their own energy.
This comes as part of our Grid & Growth Plan — the full plan will be released in the coming days and available online for public consultation and feedback.
Our Community Program includes:
⚡ Modernizing net-metering to support self-generation for households, farms, businesses, municipalities, and First Nations
🏘️ Allowing renters, low-income residents, and those without suitable rooftops to buy into shared projects and receive bill credits through a virtual co-op model
💲 Increasing the credit rate to 75% (11.6 cents/kWh), restoring meaningful value for excess energy
☀️ Ensuring net-metering credits rise alongside retail power rates, protecting long-term value for participants
💡Enabling credit pooling across facilities through consultation with rural municipalities and First Nations, allowing communities to share benefits where they’re needed most
We have a plan and we’re ready to deliver.
It really is time for change in Saskatchewan.

I quit tertiary care level internal medicine call in 2009. One of the incidents that made me quit was a direct referral came to me with high blood sugars walk-in clinic.1/n
@PsychonErrantry@prairietara The emergency departments are already bursting. Will they siphon ED docs to staff this? Or will they try to recruit family docs and make primary care access even worse?
So many questions
From 0 to 60 in X seconds…
For years that’s been one of the benchmarks used by auto manufacturers to describe the rapid acceleration of the world’s most powerful cars.
It’s also a perfect metaphor to wrap up two weeks of posts focused on the language acquisition of young children.
Babies enter the world with cries and gurgles… advance rapidly to complex forms of babbling, and generally speak their first words within a year.
Their vocabularies growing exponentially, they begin stringing simple sentences together shortly thereafter and by two years of age, become surprisingly powerful little communicators.
From 0 to 60 in just a little more than 24 months.
It’s really amazing to witness.
I began this series with video of a baby’s first sounds, captured in a hospital maternity ward. So what better way to conclude it than with an example of the end result?
I got such a kick out of listening to this little one, age two, discussing her exasperation over the family dog’s need to bark at… well, everything.
Check out not only her complex vocabulary and grammar, but her expression and tone… The way her personality is exposed through her vocalizations.
Listening to her it’s hard to imagine that roughly 18 months prior she’d not yet spoken a single conventional word.
Talk about acceleration! 🏎️
Of course this isn’t truly the end point for language development.
Her vocabulary will continue to grow throughout her lifetime, for example… but the foundations of her lifelong success have been laid… transforming not only her ability to communicate but the very ways she is able to think.
Language is arguably humankind’s most powerful tool. And it’s mastered rapidly by its most efficient and precocious little learners.
